Silk Flowers

A poem about the feel of loneliness and desperation.

Silk Flowers

All my life I have been alone

Planted many loves but none have ever grown

By the look of me you could probably tell

Why by love attempts I have always failed

My smile of gold made by fools

Hiding the marks of unknown cruel

Even a heart broken by feathered words

Hurts as if torn apart by a flock of birds

Now my time has passed and is gone

I see now all what I thought right was wrong

As the smell of silk flowers are all around

I am slowly lowered into the ground

With no one to see me off this coil

I am at peace now in this lifeless soil
